UPDATE, 4:30 p.m: The attorney for Barson's family, Michael Steinger, told The Palm Beach Post on Friday afternoon that his clients just want to get all the facts and the evidence of the case in order to reach closure.
Steinger said that he's working with the family and the Palm Beach Gardens Police Department to try to obtain any video evidence or additional witness statements. He also said that Williams nor her attorney has tried contacting the family at any point since the crash.
"At this point, Mrs. Barson is just overwhelmed with grief and completely devastated by the loss of her husband," he said.
He said Jerome and Linda Barson met when he taught tennis at the Michael-Ann Russell Jewish Community Center in North Miami Beach. The two did everything together since then. Their family also is very close but private and didn't anticipate all of the public attention following the crash. Previous to teaching tennis, Jerome taught math and social studies at a high school in Philadelphia and was a chemist for the Department of Agriculture in Philadelphia until moving to Florida in 1975.
At the time of the crash, the couple was driving to do errands for an upcoming Disney Cruise with their children and grandchildren.
"Instead of an amazing wonderful start to the summer, they have just devastation to their life," Steinger said.
The wife also is still recovering from the injuries she sustained from the crash, and Steinger said they "do not know the ultimate outcome" of her injuries.
Williams' attorney, F. Malcolm Cunningham Jr., said he didn't want to comment on the lawsuit. He confirmed that he has not personally spoken to the family nor the family's attorney, but his client has made a public statement offering her condolences to the family.
"I wouldn't expect Ms. Williams to speak directly to a lawyer," he said. "It's quite an unfortunate accident — there's no doubt about it. At the same time, Ms. Williams entered that intersection at a green light."
UPDATE, 3:10 p.m.: The wrongful death lawsuit filed by Jerome Barson's daughter, Audrey Gassner-Dunayer, states that Barson's fatal injuries from the wreck included an inter alia, cuts, served main arteries, massive internal bleeding, a fractured spine and massive internal organ damage.
The lawsuit stated that Barson's wife, Linda Barson, who was the driver of the car, also suffered injuries from the crash. Her injuries inter alia, a cracked sternum, shattered right arm, broken right wrist, hand and fingers. The two were married for over 33 years and have seven grandchildren.
The report said that Linda is suffering grief and mental pain due to the lost of her husband that was caused by Williams "failing to yield the right of way, failing to stop at a red-light, failure to obey a traffic control device, failing to keep a proper lookout, failing to stop for oncoming traffic, driving too fast for the conditions, driving carelessly and recklessly and distracted drivings."
The report then asked for judgment for damages against Williams with interest and costs and demands a trail by jury.
William Abramson, a Florida criminal and traffic attorney, said that the Palm Beach Gardens Police Department isn't required to release any evidence to the crash, including the surveillance video, due to the ongoing investigation. He also said that there most likely isn't a case for a criminal charges because no alcohol, no drugs and no reckless driving has been reported.
If Williams is issued a ticket, they still have to proved her guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, and now it's just the victim's word against Williams' claims. A video and a witness outside of the two parties would have more of a say in what happened in the crash.
"The most important thing is where the vehicles were at the time the light changed," Abramson said.
UPDATE, 2:10 p.m.: The Palm Beach Gardens Police department said it initiated an investigation into the fatal crash involving tennis star Venus Williams. The department said it can't provided any additional information about the crash because of the investigation as per Florida Statutes.
UPDATE, 1:30 p.m.: The lawyer of Jerome Barson's family, Michael Steinger, said he believes the Palm Beach Gardens police have "impeded" their investigation into the crash by not releasing video evidence, he said on Good Morning America Friday morning.
"There are video cameras that were placed at guard houses where Ms. Williams lives and the police have refused, after multiple requests, to turn those over to us and we would like to see a visual portrayal of the accident on those videos," Steinger said on the show.
The Palm Beach Post has not been able to reach Steinger for comment after multiple requests. Palm Beach Gardens Police Department spokesman Maj. Paul Rogers said the department didn't have a statement prepared when reached by the Post, but may release a statement in the near future.
Audrey Gassner-Dunayer, who is listed as Barson's daughter, denied to comment about Barson and the lawsuit against Williams. She referred all questions to her lawyer.
UPDATE, 11:50 a.m.: Attorney F. Malcolm Cunningham Jr., representing Venus Williams, said he was aware of the lawsuit filed against his client, but he denied to comment further at the moment.
Original story: The family of a man killed in a wreck caused by tennis star Venus Williams has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against her.
Jerome Barson, 78, died on June 22 because of injuries caused by a crash involving Williams on June 9 in front of the BallenIsles Country Club. A Palm Beach Gardens police report found Williams to be at fault for violating a right of way.
Now, the deceased's daughter is suing Williams for the death of her father, which, she claims in the suit, was caused "as a result of the negligence" of Williams.
RELATED: Venus Williams involved in fatal Palm Beach Gardens crash
Williams told police she was leaving the Steeplechase community south of BallenIsles and crossing Northlake Boulevard when traffic forced her to stop while blocking a lane outside BallenIsles. That's when Ester Linda Barson, 68, of The Acreage, who told police she had a green light, T-boned William's vehicle. Her husband was in the passenger seat and suffered head injuries and was taken to St. Mary's Medical Center, where he later died on his wife's birthday.

Michelle Obama is badass! She doesn't even flinch when some off-camera Sith Lord takes a swing at her.
She also handles a tiny heckler with aplomb.
I can't wait for all the right-wing blogs to start complaining that 4th graders have a liberal bias because they ask Michelle a question like this, but they give Condi the 3rd degree. Maybe there's something to that.

I just love this lady…
She has really proven to be a great First Lady!
Speaking as a right-wing blogger, I actually saw this a couple days ago and thought the question was appropriate coming from a child and I thought Michelle Obama answered it in a phenomenal way. Very First-Lady-like and I enjoyed it. Michelle Obama gets an A+ for this from me……..truly.
Too bad Palin's answer to a child on what a VP does got taken as if she were addressing the United Nations. Sigh.

On Saturday night, my boyfriend and I enjoyed a delicious, carb-tastic meal. One of our favorite restaurants does an all-you-can-eat pasta special every Saturday night, which is every runner's fantasy the night a big race. My choice of pasta was Carmine's Creami Crimini dish, which is linguini with broccoli, mushrooms and chicken tossed in an Alfredo sauce and topped with shaved Parmesan cheese. The special also comes with a house salad, fresh baked rolls, and a sampling of appetizers and soup. There is so much food that I never get more than one order of pasta but you can't beat the price. Did I mention that you also get a choice of dessert? Both of us were stuffed so we took our cheesecake to go. After dinner, we went home, changed the clocks for Daylight Savings Time and went to bed.
On Sunday morning, the alarm went off at 5 AM and I woke up ready to go. Really … I honestly did. While my boyfriend was in the shower, I changed and made sure that everything was ready to go. I debated between wearing a tech shirt and a tank top but ended up wearing the same white shirt I wore at Disney. The weather was supposed to be cooler cold that morning but I knew I was going to warm up while running. Before leaving the house, I grabbed a Clif Bar for breakfast.
We left just before 6 AM and headed to the race location. As soon as I stepped outside, I was freezing and incredibly grateful for the sweatshirt I was wearing. Unlike the other three races in the Aces are Wile Series, this one was held in Downtown Palm Harbor. I knew parking would be a premium so we wanted to get there as soon as possible. We arrived with plenty of time to spare and even got a fantastic parking spot right next to the start/finish line.
Packet pick up was supposed to start at 6:15 but the volunteers weren't quite ready so I headed inside the café hosting the post race breakfast to use the bathroom. There was no freezing port-a-potty toilet seat for me! I picked up my race bib, long-sleeved tech shirt, visor and timing chip before heading back to the car. Just after I attached my timing chip to my shoe, my friend Justine sent me a text message letting me know she was in the packet line. I left the warmth of the car and met her over there. After she picked up her packet and dropped the miscellaneous stuff off in her car, we went back to my boyfriend's car to wait for the race to start.
At 7:15, we left the car and went to wait in the starting area. I don't remember hearing the national anthem but I am assuming that it was played. The race was supposed to start at 7:30 but the race director was took the time to try to explain one of the most complicated courses I have ever experience. The half marathon course consisted of a 4.33 mile loop that I had to repeat 3 times! I am not even joking with you! Shortly after 7:30, the gun went off and we were off.
Ready to get this race going!
Loop 1 (Miles 1 through 4.33): Once the race finally started, Justine and I put our game faces. We had 13.1 miles ahead of us and we were going to rock it. The start of the race was uphil and it felt like it went on forever. The downhill wasn't nearly as long as the uphill, which meant I wasn't able to pick up any time lost going up. We pased the first water stop just after the Mile 1 Marker. Neither one of us stopped though. It was pretty crowded and I didn't want to stop running so early in the race. Around the end of Mile 2 (no marker), I realized that my pace was too fast for me to maintain. I slowed it down a bit and let Justine go on ahead of me. I stopped at the next water stop and took a 30 second walk break. My plan for the race was to run to every water stop and then take a 30 second walk break. Just before Mile 4 (no marker again), I ate my first energy gel. When I got back to the start/finish area, I could see the stop clock and it read just over 45 minutes.
The face of a runner trying to do math in their head during a race. I didn't even know my boyfriend was standing there taking this picture.
Loop 2 (Miles 4.33 through 8.67): The second time around the loop is a bit of a blur. Probably because I was running the same thing all over again. I actually found myself to be really annoyed by this fact. As I was plodding along, I heard someone calling behind me "Elite runners coming! Stay to the right!" Now I have complete respect for elite runners but it can be really disheartening knowing that you are getting passed by them. I had just passed the Mile 5 Marker and they were on their last loop. I didn't let it bother me for too long. I felt really good throughout this second loop. I took my second energy gel at the same location as the first one. It was a water stop so I was able to take in some water after "eating" the gel. As I approached the start/finish area, I realized that I only had one more loop to do. I also saw my boyfriend and the smile on his face reassured me that I could do this! I didn't see the time on the stop clock this time so I wasn't sure what my finishing time would be.
The face of a runner who knows she has the support she needs to finish the race.
Loop 3 (Miles 8.67 through 13.1): The third time around was the easiest one and the hardest one all at once. I knew the route very well and I felt like my pace was staying pretty consistent. My plan was still working and I hadn't taken any extra walk breaks. As I approached the very last turnaround before heading back to the finish, I faltered a bit. This turnaround was on a hill and my legs were tired of going uphill. I ended up taking a few extra walk breaks during Mile 12. Finally, I was making my way to the finish line. One of the cops blocking traffic said to me "I hope this is the last time I see you." I responded back with "It certainly is!" When I crested the final hill and saw the finish line, I kicked it into high gear. I gave it everything I had left, which was fueled by the time on the stop clock. As I crossed the finish line, the stop clock read 2:25:31! My official chip time was 2:25:08! Justine finished just before me with a chip time of 2:22:28 and was waiting with her fiancé and my boyfriend at the finish line.
After the race, Justine and I decided that the post race breakfast just wasn't appealing so we hugged, smiled a lot and took a few pictures before saying good bye. It was an amazing race experience. I wasn't a huge fan of the course but I never imagined I would knock 16+ minutes off of my time. My first half marathon was only five weeks ago!
Photos and video were taken by my amazing boyfriend! I promised him that I would give him credit for helping me out. He doesn't like being in front of the camera but he is awesome behind it. He also rocks at coming up with playlists on the fly and I have already asked him to make me one for my future marathon.

Director Joss Whedon's superior popcorn movie plugs the current A.I. trend (see Ex Machina, Her, et al) into a comic-book template. The set-up is loosely based on a 2013 comic-book storyline. A rogue A.I. by the name of Ultron, voiced with delicious oiliness by James Spader, is out to destroy the Avengers, all of whom return from Whedon's summer 2012 hit. Whedon's script—a marvel of blockbuster efficiency—makes time to dig into each character's comic-book psychology, including needling Hawkeye about his second-banana skill set. The movie never takes itself too seriously, and Whedon amplifies the jokey tone of its predecessor with funny dialogue and running gags. Of course, superhero movies need epic heroics as well, and the goods are delivered in stunning CGI showcases and inventive action sequences.

Getting Into The October Spirit
Carve A Pumpkin To Look Like Your Pup
A couple of years ago I found a Better Homes And Garden Internet site that had 24 different pattern stencils for carving pumpkins to look like certain dog breeds. Not all breeds are represented. Fortunately, a Poodle was one of those that were. There are also carving suggestions, which are very helpful.
The breeds represented are:
- Dachshund
- Bulldog
- Border Collie
- Boston Terrier
- Chihuahua
- Beagle
- Boxer
- Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
- German Shepard
- Golden Retriever
- Cocker Spaniel
- Pomeranian
- Jack Russel
- German Shorthair Pointer
- Doberman Pincher
- Labrador Retriever
- Pug
- Rottweiler
- Poodle
- Schnauzer
- Scottish Terrier
- Shih Tzu
- Siberian Husky
- Yorkshire Terrier
For this year, I was planning to do a pumpkin that looked like our Penny, who is a Pitt mix (this is the link). I had a disappointment when I found that there was not a stencil for her.
I have decided to change that. I have made a stencil for the American Pitt Bull. I am going to get my pumpkin today, carve it, and then blog the pumpkin along with the FREE stencil for anyone who wants to use it. Stay tuned! And Happy Pumpkin Carving!

The Nevada Democratic Party has canceled an August debate that was to be co-hosted by Fox News Channel, citing comments by the network's president about Barack Obama rather than an online protest launched by liberal activists and bloggers who believe the channel is biased.
"Comments made last night by Fox News President Roger Ailes in reference to one of our presidential candidates went too far. We cannot, as good Democrats, put our party in a position to defend such comments," state Democratic Party Chairman Tom Collins and Nevada Sen. Harry Reid wrote in a letter sent Friday to Fox News.
Ailes reportedly made a comment playing on the similarity of Illinois Sen. Barack Obama's name to Osama Bin Laden.
"And it is true that Barack Obama is on the move. I don't know if it's true that President Bush called Musharraf and said, 'Why can't we catch this guy?" Ailes said at a Radio & Television News Directors Association Foundation event in Washington on Thursday, according to a transcipt provided by Fox.
A call to Obama's campaign spokeswoman was not returned Friday night, the AP says.
Ailes' comment fueled an existing firestorm over Nevada Democrats' partnership with the network. Reid and party leaders had announced the deal for the Aug. 14 debate in Reno as a way to reach new voters.
MoveOn.org Civic Action, a network of liberal activists, called on the state Democratic Party to drop partnership with Fox, which the group calls "a mouthpiece for the Republican party," two weeks ago.
Fox News vice president David Rhodes said the party's decision Friday showed the online group owns the Democratic Party in Nevada.

The Mayo-Portland Adaptability Inventory (MPAI-4) is based on an earlier scale, the Portland Adaptability Inventory (Lezak 1987). Specifically designed for the evaluation of individuals during the post-acute period following ABI, the scale was developed to provide a representation of the sequelae of ABI through the use key indicators of abilities, activities and social participation (Malec 2004b). Assessment with the MPAI is intended to yield information applicable to the development and ongoing evaluation of rehabilitation services within this population (Malec 2003).
The original version of the MPAI consisted of six subscales: physical/medical, cognition, emotion, everyday activities, social behaviours and behaviours (Bohac et al. 1997). Items were rated to reflect distinctions between impairment, disability and handicap as defined by the World Health Organization's International Classification of Impairments, Disabilities and Handicaps (Malec & Lezak 2003; Malec et al. 2000). The MPAI has undergone successive revisions based on ongoing Rasch and multivariate analyses. The most current version is the MPAI-4, which evaluates the general dimension of sequelae of ABI in 3 sub-dimensions: ability, adjustment and participation (Malec 2004b).
The MPAI-4 consists of 29 items in 3 subscales (the Ability Index, the Adjustment Index and the Participation Index) plus an additional 6 items that are not included in the MPAI-4 score. The first 29 scale items are intended to reflect the current status of the individual with brain injury without attempting to determine whether their status might be influenced by factors other than ABI. The additional six, unscored items are intended to identify the presence of other factors that may be contributing to the individual's current status (Malec & Lezak 2003).
In general, items are rated on a 5-point scale from 0 to 4 where 0 represents the most favourable outcome, no problem or independence, and 4 represents the presence of severe problems. A worksheet is provided that guides the user through the scoring and re-scoring of items. Following any necessary re-scoring, item scores are summed for each subscale to provide a raw score for that index. After making adjustment for items appearing in more than one index, subscale raw scores are summed to provide an overall adaptability index score. Raw scores for the indices and total scale may be converted to T-scores with a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 10 using the tables provided in the manual (Malec & Lezak 2003). T-scores provided are based on data sets from two populations of individuals with ABI. They have not been referenced to non-ABI samples. In general, when compared to the reference populations with ABI, total T-scores less than 30 are indicative of good outcome, 30-40 of mild limitations, 40-50 of mild to moderate limitations, 50-60 of moderate to severe difficulties, and >60 of severe limitations (Malec & Lezak 2003).
The MPAI-4 was designed to be completed by professional staff, individuals who have experienced brain injury and/or their significant others. Ratings provided by any two or more of these groups can be combined to provide a more comprehensive composite score (Malec & Lezak 2003). When administered by professional staff, the ratings should be completed by team consensus. The MPAI-4 is free of charge. The manual and rating forms may be downloaded from the COMBI website (http://tbims.org/combi/mpai). A French translation of the rating form is also available from the website.
Table: Characteristics of the Mayo-Portland Adaptability Inventory
Advantages. The MPAI is a readily available assessment of the post-acute sequelae of ABI. The Participation Index may be administered independently to provide a quick evaluation of participation outcomes. Differences in ratings between staff member consensus and individuals with ABI or between significant others and individuals with ABI may provide a measure of impaired self-awareness (Malec 2004a; Malec & Degiorgio 2002).
Limitations. The authors do not recommend the MPAI-4 for use in the assessment of individuals with very severe ABI (Malec & Lezak 2003).
The authors reported that the placement of items in the 3 scale indices is based on a rational process in keeping with clinical observation and the results of ongoing analyses (Malec & Lezak 2003). However, the placement of some items appears odd. Self-care, for instance, is part of the participation index. In an earlier analysis, it was stated that it was more conceptually sound to place the self-care items with other basic skills such as use of hands, mobility and speech (Bohac et al. 1997). These basic items are currently part of the MPAI-4 abilities index. Other items, such as initiation, social contact and leisure skills/recreation were assigned to more than one index suggesting significant overlap between the subscales of adjustment and participation.
There are no published validation or reliability studies of the Mayo-Portland Adaptability that did not originate from the group responsible for the development of the scale.
Summary-Mayo-Portland Adaptability Inventory
Interpretability: Tables are provided and raw scores are converted to standardized T-scores based on a national sample (n=386) or regional sample (n=134). No truly normative data is available for the purpose of comparison.
Acceptability: May be completed by patients and significant others with trained professionals available to provide assistance.
Feasibility: The MPAI-4 is free to download and copy. Administration, scoring and interpretation should be undertaken by trained professionals. The manual also contains a recommendation that a person capable in advanced psychometrics should be available. To maintain high levels of reliability, assessment should be completed by team consensus.

PM condoles passing away of singer Mahendra KapoorSeptember 28th, 2008 - 12:16 pm ICT by ANI
New Delhi, Sept 28 (ANI): Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh has expressed sorrow over the passing away of playback singer Mahendra Kapoor.
In his condolence message, Dr. Singh said that the death of Mahendra Kapoor is an irreparable loss to millions of his fans.
"He is no more but his songs like "Mere Desh Ki Dharthi" will keep him alive in the heart of every Indian," he added.
Kapoor, popular Hindi film playback singer, died in Mumbai last night following a cardiac failure. He was 74.
Born in Amrisar in Punjab, Kapoor first came into prominence after he won a singing contest at the All India Youth Festival in the late 1950s.
He also sang some popular numbers of "Gumrah," "Humraaz" and "Waqt," which were composed by music director Ravi and picturised on Sunil Dutt during the late 1960s and 1970s.
Kapoor also rendered the most popular number, "Mere desh ki dharti sona ugle" in Manoj Kumar''s "Upkar" as also "Bharat Ka rahnewala hoon" in "Purab Aur Paschim" and "Ab Ke baras" in "Kranti."
He also sang the title song of B.R Chopra''s popular TV serial, "Mahabharat".
He received the Filmfare Award for his song "Chalo ek baar phir se" in Chopra''s "Gumrah" in 1963 and also for "Neele gagan ke tale" from "Humraz". (ANI)

The famous British period-drama series Downton Abbey (Season 6) has come to an end, but all too soon for fans to process. All that is left is the Christmas special, which, as the name suggests, will air on Christmas Day this year and will mark the finale for the series. Take a look at some fan spoilers and a trailer of the highly anticipated episode called, "The Finale."
There is a lot going on in the show as of episode 8, where Bertie walked out on Edith, Henry and Mary finally tied the knot, Thomas tried to kill himself, Carson was adjusting to change, and Violet returned from France! However, there's much, much more hanging in the balance.
Disciples of the show commented on their hopes and theories about their beloved characters in a YouTube video. One said, "PLEASE, PLEASE let Anna and John's child be born!" It will indeed be tough to tell whether Anna has a safe delivery what with her history, and if she does, Mr. Bates would actually explode with joy, as would we!
Another fan wrote, "The only thing I want for the final is for [Thomas] Barrow to fall in love and live happily ever after. That's literally the only thing I care about." After everything that the butler has had to endure in these six seasons, all that anyone can feel for the poor guy is sympathy. And Barrow being gay reaches out to a larger audience than one would expect, making him very relatable.
Regarding Edith, one fan said, "The wedding is clearly going to be Edith's!! I hope Bertie will make up with her, regardless of Marigold's illegitimacy. I am worried that the funeral may be either Violet's or Robert's." While the funeral mystery remains, Lady Mary seems to have finally found her happy ending with Henry, although the scene in Episode 8 at Matthew's grave made us bawl our eyes out.
However, the one comment that spoke volumes was, "I do NOT want this series to end!! I feel as if they're all part of my extended family [sic]." We couldn't agree more!

UNIVERSITY PARK, PA. - Penn State Lady Lion senior Gizelle Studevent (La Jolla, Calif.) has been selected to the inaugural Allstate WBCA Good Works Team as announced on Tuesday. The team is composed of 10 women's basketball student-athletes who have made outstanding contributions in the areas of volunteerism and civic involvement. The 10-member team features five student-athletes from Division I and five student-athletes from Division II, III and the NAIA. Allstate also announced its 10-member Allstate NABC Good Works Team for men's basketball.
"The men and women being recognized with this award have demonstrated a commitment to excellence on and off the court," said Pam Hollander, senior director of marketing for Allstate Insurance Company and a member of the 2013 NABC and WBCA Good Works Team® selection panels. "Allstate commends these student-athletes for their contributions and are very proud to introduce the inaugural NABC and WBCA Good Works Teams."
After being bullied in high school, Studevent used an independent study project at Penn State to create "Penn State Athletes Take Action." The program works with the Centre County Women's Resource Center (CCWRC) to develop a program to take into local middle schools to talk with students about bullying and bully prevention on a monthly basis. Throughout her development of the program, Studevent has enlisted the help of several other student-athletes, including athletes from women's basketball, track & field, soccer, cheerleading, football and dance team, to go to weekly training sessions at the CCWRC and then on to present at local middle schools.
Studevent is joined on the NCAA Division I team by Auburn's Blanche Alverson, Oklahoma's Whitney Hand, Brown's Caroline King and Purdue's Drey Mingo. The NCAA Division II, III and NAIA team is comprised of California State's Amanda Deal, Merrimack's Kathryn Ganser, Skidmore's Logan Frederick, RIT's Kayla Wheeler and Ave Maria's Emily Huber.
"We believe in the potential of this exemplary program as an opportunity to promote the good works taking place in collegiate athletics," said Beth Bass, CEO of the WBCA. "The Good Works Team recognizes student-athletes who are conscientious and caring individuals who will continue to make significant contributions as civic leaders in communities across the United States."
Members of the Allstate WBCA Good Works Team® will be recognized during the 2013 WBCA Convention and at the 2013 NCAA® Women's Final Four® in New Orleans, and will also participate in a local community project. Allstate is an official corporate partner of the NABC, WBCA and NCAA.

My wife and I recently returned from our first trip to Seattle, and we only needed an umbrella during half of our trip. We were there for my wife's conference, and while she was listening to lectures, I set out to photograph the city made so popular by grunge music, and that cafe up there....Star-something. While our hotel was in the business district, we spent most of our time in and around Pike Place. I am pretty sure I was the first tourist to take this shot.
Of course our first stop after seeing the mongers NOT toss fish at the market, was the famous gum wall in Post Alley. While I'm sure you have all seen the other 4, this did make it on the 2009 Top 5 Germiest Tourist Attractions list. The story goes that the owner of the Market Theater did not like patrons chewing gum in the theatre, so they started sticking it on the wall outside. I heard a similar story about the construction of the pyramid at Giza. The wall across from the great wall of gum currently only has two pieces of gum on it.....stuck on the "No gum this side....thank you" sign.
Also located just a stone's throw from the fish market is.....the FIRST Starbucks cafe. There is always a line to get in, and street performers vie for the position just out side the door. This woman MAY have been swaying to the gospel choir outside the cafe, but I'm pretty sure she just REALLY likes Starbucks. To be honest, the coffee is not "thank you lord" good, in my humble opinion. I found it strange that a barista at one of our local Starbucks could not tell me where the Peet's was located. It was two blocks away.
Just up the street a ways, across from Victor Steinbrueck Park (I believe......but it's not clear to me), there were a couple of street performers singing something that I imagine was music from the south. I don't remember, as they were just finishing up as I grabbed this photograph. Do you think that is where he keeps his cell phone.......if he has one?
I'm not sure if this bird was just singing along........or if it was mocking them.
The only time we left the Pike Place area was when we walked to the Space Needle. It was constructed for the 1962 World's Fair, and was the collaboration of businessman Edward Carlson, and architect John Graham. Carlson liked the idea of a giant balloon tied to the ground, and Graham was totally into flying saucers back then. The resulting building is 158 meters tall (without the antenna spire), it sways 1 inch per every 10mph gust, and was built in less than 10 months. That last part sounds impossible today. Three people have committed suicide by jumping from the Needle....but that was back in the 70's.
More impressive than the Space Needle, is the Frank Ghery building located near the needle. The Experience Music Project is just that......an experience. One critic of the building described it as "something that crawled out of the sea, rolled over, and died." Forbes magazine declared it one of the world's 10 Ugliest Buildings. I personally found it to be fascinating, and enjoyed the use of different colors on the facade.
Realizing that there were a few more adventures to cover from our Seattle trip, I've decided to finish our story in the next blog installment. Come back next time when we answer the question, "Is that a REAL Popsicle?"

Jain Vishva Bharati represented of ONE JAINS UK for the 6th London Interfaith Music Festival on Sunday 21 May 2017
Jain Vishva Bharati London led by Samani Pratibha Pragya ji and Samani Unnata Pragya ji presented Arhat Vanadana at the Faith in Tunes Interfaith Music Festival held at the British Museum on Sunday 21 May 2017.
JVB was representing ONE JAINS UK which is a unified organisation for all Jain sects within the UK.
Arhat Vandana is a collection of ancient aphorisms from the Aagams (holy Jain scriptures) compiled by Acarya Tulsi. In this composition, the profound words of wisdom propounded by Lord Mahaveer, the last Tirthankar (Fordmaker) of the Jains, first pay homage to all the saints and spiritual leaders. It then advises not to believe in any dogma or philosophy blindly, but for every individual to search truth for themselves. What everyone will then realise is that just as earth is the substratum for all entities, peace is the bedrock for all life forms. One can subsequently infer that just as we all seek peace and happiness and aim to relinquish pain and sorrow, it is equally applicable to all other living beings. The couplets further advise why wage war externally, when the real war needs to waged internally on our negativities. One will eventually realise the Eternal Truth that Equanimity in all Situations in the real essence of Spirituality.
This wonderful message was sung by about JVB devotees including JVB Gyanshala (religious school for children) children and teachers, all clad in pristine white attire symbolising purity. They glorified Lord Mahaveer's message of nonviolence and peace.

Basic reason why we are hiring the essay-writing experts for the college papers is to gain the impression of the faculty members.

FDA panel recommends new approval for Genentech eye drug
SILVER SPRING, Md. — A panel of Food and Drug Administration experts is recommending the approval of a drug made by Genentech for diabetic macular edema, the company said.
Genentech, a subsidiary of Swiss drug maker Roche, said the FDA Dermatologic and Ophthalmic Drugs Advisory Committe's 10 members had voted unanimously to recommend approval of Lucentis (ranibizumab) in the 0.3-mg dose for DME, while voting 8-2 to recommend approval of the 0.5-mg dose. The FDA is not required to follow advisory committee recommendations when deciding whether or not to approve a drug, but usually does. The agency is expected to make its decision on Aug. 10. Lucentis already is approved for treating wet age-related macular degeneration.
DME is an eye condition in people with diabetes that causes swelling of the retina and blurred vision, and is a major cause of vision loss and blindness in diabetics, affecting more than 560,000 people in the United States.
"The committee's recommendation is an important step toward the goal of helping to redefine the standard of care for Americans with diabetic macular edema," Genentech chief medical officer and head of global product development Hal Barron said. "There has not been a major development in the treatment of DME for more than 25 years, and we look forward to the FDA's decision."

Florida Pharmacy Association sues state health department over HMO contracts
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — The Florida Pharmacy Association, together with a group of Medicaid patients, independent pharmacies and pharmacists from all over Florida, filed a lawsuit Thursday in Leon County Circuit Court against the Agency for Health Care Administration to seek to restore patient access to qualified Medicaid pharmacy providers.
The lawsuit seeks to stop the Agency from continuing to enter and enforce contracts with for-profit Health Management Organizations and other for-profit managed care organizations that have forced Medicaid patients, according to the complaint, "to use only out-of-state pharmacy conglomerates and their affiliated mandatory mail-order pharmacies."

Study: Men with prostate cancer more likely to die from other causes
BOSTON — Men diagnosed with prostate cancer are less likely to die from the disease than from such preventable conditions as heart disease, according to a new study from Harvard School of Public Health.
Published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, researchers examined causes of death among prostate cancer cases recorded in the U.S. Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results program (which includes more than 490,000 men from 1973 to 2008) and the nationwide Swedish Cancer and Cause of Death registries (which included more than 210,000 men from 1961 to 2008). They found that among men diagnosed with the disease, prostate cancer accounted for 52% and 30% of all reported deaths in Sweden and in the United States, respectively; however, only 35% of Swedish men and 16% of U.S. men diagnosed with prostate cancer died from this disease.
The researchers also noted that in both populations, the risk of prostate cancer-specific death declined, while the risk of death from heart disease and non-prostate cancer remained constant. The five-year cumulative incidence of death from prostate cancer was 29% in Sweden and 11% in the United States.
"Our results are relevant for several million men living with prostate cancer in the United States," said first author Mara Epstein, a postdoctoral researcher at HSPH. "We hope this study will encourage physicians to use a prostate cancer diagnosis as a teachable moment to encourage a healthier lifestyle, which could improve the overall health of men with prostate cancer, increasing both the duration and quality of their life."

Obama's Trauma Team (Steven Brill, TIME)– On the crack team of coders, engineers and project managers that turned healthcare.gov around.
The Big Picture
Obama was right: To boost the economy, spread the wealth (Christopher Ingraham, Wonkblog)– The new studies are absolutely unequivocal on the issue: "Redistribution is overall pro-growth," the authors write. "On average, across countries and over time, the things that governments have typically done to redistribute do not seem to have led to bad growth outcomes, unless they were extreme. And the resulting narrowing of inequality helped support faster and more durable growth."
Congress to constituents: 'Show me the money' (Christopher Ingraham, Wonkblog)– "[S]uccess rates for meetings with Congressmen were low overall, but the study authors note that non-donors rarely obtained any meetings with Congressmen or chiefs of staff. This suggests that being a donor is a near-necessary condition for obtaining high-level Congressional access, but it is not a sufficient one."
What is Left? (Adolph Reed, The American Prospect)– "The core difference between us is that Meyerson has no patience for notions that there can, much less should, be a serious left politics that is not articulated relative to the Democratic Party. I argue the need for building an extra-electoral left that is independent of the Democrats because the party's dominant political orientation has become less and less responsive to labor and other constituencies concerned with egalitarian economic policies, and more committed to placating the financial interests whose economic priorities intensify inequality and economic insecurity. "
Foreign Affairs
America Exports Democracy, Just Not the Way You Think (Sasha Issenberg, NYT)– On the global expansion of political party primaries
The CIA's Poisonous Tree (David Cole, NYRB)– "In law, we say that torture "taints" an investigation. The legal doctrine that precludes reliance on evidence obtained from torture is called the "fruit of the poisonous tree" rule. But as this latest saga reflects, torture does far more than merely "taint" evidence. It corrupts all who touch it. The CIA's desperate efforts to hide the details of what the world already knows in general outline—that it subjected human beings to brutal treatment to which no human being should ever be subjected—are only the latest evidence of the poisonous consequences of a program euphemistically called "enhanced interrogation.""
The west's do-somethings will do nothing for Ukraine (Simon Jenkins, The Guardian)
Let Crimea Go (Eric Posner, Slate)– "By engineering the referendum in Crimea, Putin has again thrown international law back into the face of the West. If a fair vote is held, and Crimeans vote overwhelmingly to join Russia, then any Western effort to stop them will be seen as an attempt to thwart the will of the people, a violation of their right to self-determination, which is enshrined in the U.N. charter and multiple human rights treaties. And how would the West stop them anyway? Because Crimea would not be an independent state but a province of Russia, the usual ways of not recognizing a country—withholding U.N. membership, refusing to appoint an ambassador, and refraining from trade—would not work. Once Russia swallows up Crimea, we could not isolate Crimea without taking action against Russia. But Europe relies on Russia's oil and its bank accounts, and so the United States would stand alone, unable to hurt Russia and only isolating itself."
The Domestic Basis of American Power (Francis Fukuyama, Lawfare)– "However, I do believe that the political discount rate that translates economic strength into internationally usable power has increased for the United States as a result of the political polarization in Washington. Here the problem lies more with the political elite and less with society. I am not sure whether there are significantly deeper polarizations in American society than previously on foreign policy issues the way there are on domestic economic and cultural issues. "
Oh Humanities! (Michael Hammond, Religion in American History)– "There was a time, not too long ago, when public conversations might turn to a discussion of the events of the past. A disagreement over details might emerge, and there was an advantage to whoever might possess the cultural literacy necessary to recall a particular fact or detail about a time in ages past. Today, if these conversations emerge, they are settled by someone pulling out a cell phone or similar device and searching for the answer. What makes history relevant in a culture that embraces the newness of information rather than the persistence of historical narratives? "
Building a Diverse Newsroom is Work (Shani O. Hilton, Medium)– "Getting to that level of diversity takes work. It's something BuzzFeed is OK at — and we're working on improving. The undercurrent to much of the criticism of Silver and Klein et al. is an assumption that it's easy to hire a diverse staff if you try, but white dudes just aren't trying. I'm not a white dude, so I can only speak to the first part of that sentence, as someone who's done a fair amount of hiring in my year at BuzzFeed. So here goes: It actually isn't easy to build a diverse newsroom."
King of the Foxes (Steve Coll, NYRB)
Journalism startups aren't a revolution if they're filled with all these white men (Emily Bell, The Guardian)– "Maybe it is the fault of legacy media for failing to make enough women "marquee journalists" in the first place. Being a "personal brand" superstar journalist is a harder path for women to negotiate, not just through the closure of institutional opportunity, but also through the bruising nature of internet discourse, which can represent an entirely different and much less civilised clubhouse than the equitable one Nate Silver is building at ESPN with so much fanaticism that he hires by chart. Women tend to have to choose in the newsroom, even digital-first newsrooms: serve others, as an editor or commissioner, or be your own presence as a journalist/columnist/blogger. The leadership in the new (new) journalism do both, and their founders would not for one second have thought they had to choose."
Where Are the People of Color in Children's Books? (Walter Dean Myers, NYT)– "I realized that this was exactly what I wanted to do when I wrote about poor inner-city children — to make them human in the eyes of readers and, especially, in their own eyes. I need to make them feel as if they are part of America's dream, that all the rhetoric is meant for them, and that they are wanted in this country."
The Future of Internet Freedom (Eric Schmidt and Jared Cohen, NYT)
Imaginary Jews (Michael Walzer, NYRB)– "What is being explained is the social world; the explanatory tools are certain supposed features of Judaism; and the enemies are mostly not Jews but "Judaizing" non-Jews who take on these features and are denounced for doing so. I will deal with only a few of Judaism's negative characteristics: its hyperintellectualism; its predilection for tyranny; its equal and opposite predilection for subversive radicalism; and its this-worldly materialism, invoked, as we've seen, by both Burke and Marx. None of this is actually descriptive; there certainly are examples of hyper-intellectual, tyrannical, subversive, and materialist Jews (and of dumb, powerless, conformist, and idealistic Jews), but Nirenberg insists, rightly, that real Jews have remarkably little to do with anti-Judaism."
Opportunity Knox: The Duke Porn Star Makes a Feminist Case for Her Career Choice (Robin Kirk, Dame)– "The videos I watched—free teasers, to be sure—are tightly choreographed (freedom?) and entirely run-of-the-mill (empowering?), designed to appeal to precisely the prospective fraternity brother who revealed her identity to his peers. I am trying to understand how they can be spun as feminist. She does not appear to be in control of anything: The narrative, if this can be graced with such a lofty term, is utterly predictable, and everything is focused on male pleasure, the male gaze, and the inevitable cum-on-her-face crescendo. "
We now know more about the economics of prostitution than ever (Emily Badger, Wonkblog)
What it Means to be Catholic Now (Peter Manseau, NYT)– "Who is a Catholic? If the late priest and sociologist Andrew M. Greeley was correct in his assessment that "Catholics remain Catholic" because "they are loyal to the poetry of Catholicism," the answer may be more a matter of language than belief. The hold the church's symbolism continues to have on many, practicing and lapsed, Catholic and not, is also the key to understanding both the opportunity and the risk Rome faces in the age of Francis: The poetry of faith remains open to interpretation. Though he surely did not intend it this way, "Who am I to judge?" would be a fitting motto for a papacy that saw a thousand Catholicisms bloom."
Religious Belief and Bigotry (Andrew Sullivan, The Dish)– "Twenty years ago, I was confidently told by my leftist gay friends that Americans were all anti-gay bigots and would never, ever back marriage rights so I should stop trying to reason them out of their opposition. My friends were wrong. Americans are not all bigots. Not even close. They can be persuaded rather than attacked. And if we behave magnanimously and give maximal space for those who sincerely oppose us, then eventual persuasion will be more likely. And our victory more moral and more enduring."
Beyond Hemlines: What Pope Francis Can Teach Us About Modesty (Stephen Carter, Sunstone)
BYU Search Committee considers both men and women for BYU President: Why another man? (Gina Colvin, KiwiMormon)– "Theoretically there have been at least three opportunities over the last 20 years to appoint a woman as President of BYU, and each of those times they have opted for a man from a very, very, very (excuse the yawn) familiar demographic."
Doctrinal Disparity & Fragile Faith (Richard Livingston, Peculiar People)

The last US soldier will leave Iraq on 31 December , 2011. It will be a sad end to an occupation that lasted almost 9 years and cost billions of dollars. More than 5000 American young men died for no purpose and in addition almost 250,000 Iraq civilians also died in a bloody era., many at the hands of the US soldiers.Even during the worst phase of Saddam Hussein 's rule so many deaths never took place.
So what did the USA achieve? I am at a loss to answer this question. Perhaps even the US think tank will find itdifficult to answer this poser. The fact is the USA shot itself in the foot with the Iraq war. It allowed the Taliban and al Qaeda to re-surface in Afghanistan and paved the way for a bloody Sunni-Shia clash in Iraq. Bomb blasts and a sectarian conflict is the watch word every where. No body is safe whether he is in Basra or Baghdad
It's already started with the Sunni Vice President Tarik Hashemi being accused of running a hit men gang to eliminate government officers. Tarik has an arrest warrant against him, but he has escaped to the Kurdish areas of Iraq. Tarik is a Sunni and this accusation has all the making of a Sunni- Shia conflict.
When the last US soldier leaves Iraq , the USA will have to do some soul searching as to what the USA achieveed in Iraq. More likely the end result could be a anti US regime dominated by hard line Muslim extremists. The USA would not have bargained for this. All in all a Pyrrhic victory. Wonder what George Bush has to say about it .

Released a day ahead of the official launch of UN Women, A Blueprint for UN Women outlines the views of 100 civil society organizations working in 75 countries on women's human rights, gender equality and social justice, on the role UN Women should play.
Commissioned by Oxfam and VSO UK, the survey findings send a clear message that UN Women must deliver on its promise and work with governments to ensure accountability for delivering rights equality and development for women.
The foundation of UN Women provides a historic opportunity to transform the lives of women and girls. To deliver results, UN Women must target the most urgent issues for women and absorb the lessons of the past. As it becomes operational, UN Women should build these priorities and new approach into its structures and systems.

Do you like the type safety of TypeScript and the concise syntax of CoffeeScript? In that case CompiledCoffee is for you! It combines CoffeeScript with TypeScript's type system via the definition files. You create a *.coffee file and a *.d.ts file with the same name, in which you (optionally) type stuff. Rest is handled automatically.
See it in action in a <5min screencast.
- merges CoffeeScript classes with types from d.ts files
- outputs a TypeScript compilation results
- all types in d.ts files are optional and function's inner vars' types are inferred
- optionally outputs a browserify CommonJS module
- watches for changes (both the source and the d.ts files)
- compilation is optional, source is backward-compatible with regular CoffeeScript
- supports yield with type safety for both params and return/callback values (some d.ts changes needed)
npm install compiled-coffee
Usage: ccoffee -i <src> -o <build>
-h, --help output usage information
-V, --version output the version number
-i, --source-dir <dir> Input directory for the source files (required)
-o, --build-dir <dir> Output directory for the built files (required)
-p, --pack <FILE:MODULE_NAME> Creates a CJS browserify package
-w, --watch Watch for the source files changes
-y, --yield Support the yield (generators) syntax (currently doesn't work with --pack)
Right now you can write typed classes and untyped (but compiled) mocha tests without any headache. Compiler auto re-compiles the code after a file change.
Requires node --harmony (>=0.11) for the yield support.
In the definition file you can type following:
- class attributes
- class methods
- interfaces
Not yet here:
- default params' types
- autoset constructor params
- enums
- top level functions
- top level variables
There are some limitations you need to take into account. Some of them will disappear in the future:
- vars are declared inline (not on the beginning of a function)
This is tricky for eg loop assignments. Also
a = b = nullwont work.
- only CommonJS d.ts files are supported (which means string module names)
- right now, all the top level elements are exported in TS and duplicated module.exports is needed if one plans to compile it with as a regular CoffeeScript
- d.ts files need an indentation of 1 tab or 2 spaces
- referenced d.ts files have a base dir from BUILD_DIR
- class properties are initialized in the constructor, not in the prototype
- only simple requires are supported eg
foo = require('foo')not
{foo} = require('foo')
- underscore dependency for ranges (needs a manual require)
- no down ranges like [9..0]
- double source map (CS -> TS -> JS) and lack of a shift on >1 line d.ts signatures
- no casting (`` syntax won't work, which is sad)
- Following will cause a stack overflow
a = ->
b = -> 1
- yield in IF statements doesn't work
- error when doing
a = b = null
- Full support for exports
- Merge currently unsupported d.ts definition types Including definition references
- Update to CoffeeScript 1.7
- Merge yield support from coffy-script
- Source maps support
- Compiler speed improvements
- Merging d.ts with plain JS files
- Use Closure Compiler as a proper linker
The flow
- write pure coffeescript
- write d.ts file for each coffee file
- transpile coffee to ts
- change commonjs require and exports to ts versions
- TODO selective exports
- merge resulting ts source with d.ts files
- TODO support more language parts
- TODO extend existing source map (via https://github.com/mozilla/source-map)
- compile ts with typescript
- TODO using a sourcemap and ts service, provide autocompletion information
- solution similar to tern.js completion for coffee
- watch for changes and refresh the build result

Finally: it's time to mention yoga
I've resisted this long, but it's time to share. For the last 14 years I've been practising yoga and I qualified to teach BKS Iyengar's method in 2003. It's not all soft and fluffy; passing the assessments was probably the hardest work I've done. Four years of practise before you're allowed on the training course, and at least two years to get through. The Iyengar approach is rigorous, and uses equipment to help all students do the extensions correctly, but all yoga is yoga. If you are going to do downward facing dog, it's the same in every class you do; it's just that some methods hold the postures for less time and aren't so fussy about whether or not you try your hardest to get it absolutely right. Some go straight from posture to another in a more flowing style. In Iyengar's method, teachers are expected to help students to correct mistakes. Once they're good, then they can flow.
Around the globe some yoga teachers do something a little bit different and name it after themselves, trademark it and see if they can earn a stack of cash. That's not particularly yogic, not according to Patanjali who wrote down the rules over 2000 years ago. (BKS Iyengar says he does Patanjali's hatha yoga, it's just that it's simpler to call it Iyengar so students know what to expect.)
What's yoga anyway? Bouncing about in lycra showing how bendy you are? The definition I like best is that yoga is the quietening of the mind to achieve stillness. Showing your muscles and standing on your head in public isn't yoga, it's just showing off. But if you do go to a class with a decent teacher, concentrate hard on doing your best and what each part of your body is up to (ignoring the others in the room) you'll come out feeling brilliant, with a calm head and a spring in your step.
That's why I'm recommending that you give it a try. It'll help you to think clearly, put things in perspective and keep your body parts functioning smoothly. Since I've practised yoga I've been able to concentrate better while I'm working and I've got rid of the lower back pain I always had from sitting at a desk. (Except the time Nick dreamed he was playing football and kneed me in the lumbar spine.) I've a long way to go before I quieten my mind enough to achieve stillness, but it happens more often than it used to, which was never.
Go here to find yourself a local class: www.iyengar.org.uk. If you're in Ealing, get in touch.

A Buenos Aires Vacation is fun! There are many fascinating things to do.
Consequently you can create a fantastic inexpensive vacation.
On your Buenos Aires Argentina vacation you can see an Argentine Tango show, try their famous beef, visit a Sunday flea market in San Telmo and more.
Note: To learn about inexpensive vacation ideas for South America see:
South America Vacation.
Public transportation is pretty efficient. Since the dollar is strong taxi cab rides are quite reasonable. For these reasons tourism is strong in Buenos Aires.
Public transportation is very efficient. With a strong dollar taxi cab rides are quite reasonable. For these reasons tourism is strong in Buenos Aires.
Hotels can be reasonable (however some are over prices so beware!). There are some excellent deals if you are willing to stay at one of the many homes people convert to apartments.
I have been to Buenos Aires vacation twice and stayed at a converted house both times. They are spacious and the owners are eager to please. Many have dance floors for guests who enjoy Argentine Tango.
A word of caution!Make sure you stay in one of the safe districts. Either find out the good districts from someone who has been before or do some solid research. There are some seedy areas to the city that you should stay away from.
Argentine TangoPeople who love Argentine Tango make the trek to Buenos Aires (which is considered the birth place of Tango—and the epicenter). If you don't dance Tango you might consider a few lessons, or just go to a show or two.
People take their tango seriously. Many of the performers have danced tango 10-20 years or more. Their expertise, sensuality and skill are nothing less than amazing to watch. There are a wide array of tango halls and venues to choose from.
DiningDining out is not only extremely enjoyable, it is extremely inexpensive. The beef needs to be tried and going to a dinner with a tango show is a real treat. For example, on one outing (with six people) we had dinner, a few bottles of wine and a great tango show. It was all for less that $120 including the tip!
San TelmoThe San Telmo neighborhood is a must see place—especially the Antiques fair. San Telmo is one of the oldest districts in Buenos Aires. There are a wide array of antique stores, tango halls and more.
The San Telmo Antiques fair is held every Sunday. It is an exciting, vibrant and colorful experience. As street vendors sell their wares singers and dancers move among the crowd to tango music. This delights the crowds of locals and people on vacation.

No. 15 Oregon Upsets No. 5 Stanford, 3-2
Oct. 18, 2009
Courtesy of Oregon Athletics
EUGENE - The No. 15 University of Oregon (14-3, 4-3) savored a five-set win over No. 5 Stanford (12-5, 5-2) Saturday night at McArthur Court for its first win in the series since 1989, and first between the two teams in Eugene since 1986.
With its 25-23, 22-25, 30-32, 25-22, 15-11 decision, UO's third-ever win in the series dating back to 1979 was certainly a team effort as a season-high four Ducks ended with double-digit kill and dig figures vs. the returning national runners-up.
Senior outside hitter Sonja Newcombe tied her career high in kills (26) from last week's match at No. 22 Arizona, and also hit .362. The Lake Arrowhead, Calif., native's team season-high 24 digs also marked her sixth double-double of the season and 40th of her career.
"I can't keep the smile off my face," Newcombe said. "We had to battle, and it was a huge team effort. We just had to focus on each point and go from there. Everyone did a great job of staying composed and business-like, and keeping their emotions in check until the end. This was a pretty darn big win, and I'm hoping we have some other ones, too."
Senior middle blocker Neticia Enesi paced the team in hitting (.514) for the 12th time in '09, and her 21 kills was a season high and only two off her career high (23) from a five-set win at then-No. 12 USC last year.
Freshman outside hitter Katherine Fischer also rang up a career high in kills (14) and a match-high three aces, and her career-high 16 digs marked her second career double-double.
"I'm so proud of how we played," Fischer said. "The crowd was great and really made a difference. I've been working on my serving lately, and was able to move it around well tonight."
Freshman libero Kellie Kawasaki proved a centerpiece of the defense with a myriad of acrobatic plays en route to 19 digs Saturday - her highest tally of the season and UO's second-best mark of the year.
"These wins give us a lot of confidence," Kawasaki said. "We've been working hard to try and play more together in practice, and it showed tonight. Personally, I was ready to do whatever it took. The bigger the match, the less nervous I normally am, and the team was like that tonight and really communicated well with each other."
Claiming UO's third double-double of the evening and 19th of her career, senior setter Nevena Djordjevic had a season-high 63 assists - her second-highest ever and only one off last year's career best in a win vs. then-No. 9 UCLA. The Lazarevac, Serbia native's 13 digs nearly doubled her previous season high (7), and was not far off her career high (17) from her freshman season.
Among other noteworthy efforts, junior outside hitter Heather Meyers added 14 kills, nine digs, four blocks and an ace; and sophomore oustide hitter Dana Stephenson added five kills, four blocks and a .333 hitting mark.
Team-wise, UO held advantages in hitting (.289-.264), assists (74-66) and digs (89-83), while Stanford held a slight edge in aces (7-6) and blocks (12-10).
Friday's win marked the eighth league opponent to fall to head coach Jim Moore who is in his fifth year at the helm of the Ducks. In that span, UO is 90-53 overall, not to mention 31-30 in league play aginast the 'Conference of Champions' the last 3 1/2 seasons, and has advanced to the NCAA regional final two straight times for the first time in school history.
"To go 20 years without beating them is a long time, but more important is how the players responded to adversity," Oregon head coach Jim Moore said. "After we lost game three the way we did, and then came out so disorganized in game four, we lost heart and weren't playing tough, but we regained composure and were able to pull it out. Sonja played ridiculous - 26 kills and 24 digs against a team like this is amazing. This whole week the seniors led the way in practice. They have showed their intelligence and composure. They never stopped believing tonight. Kellie also did a great job as well as the whole team."
Two-time All-American and junior outside hitter Alix Klineman led the Cardinal in kills (24), points (27.5) and aces (2), while other category leaders included Karissa Cook (43 assists), Cassidy Lichtman (17 digs), Janet Okogbaa (7 blocks) and Jessica Walker (two aces).
In the first set, after Stanford started the match on a 3-0 run, UO hung tough and forced eight ties up until 15-15, when Fischer's kill gave UO its first lead of the set and one it wouldn't relinquish en route to a 25-23 winning margin. Enesi ended the set with six kills in her eight attempts for a .750 hitting mark.
In the second set, the two teams traded the lead early until 11-11. Newcombe's four subsequent kills fueled a UO run that put the Ducks up 19-14, with the final point on a Meyers kill-Stephenson assist that ended a long rally that included two digs along the baseline by Djordjevic. However, Stanford fought back to tie it 20-20, then go ahead 22-20 on a run of four straight kills by Klineman, en route to a 25-22 win. Newcombe ended with six kills scattered throughout the set and also had four digs.
After the intermission, neither team led by more than three points in the third set until UO went up 18-14 on the second of two straight kills by Newcombe. Moments earlier, UO survived the longest volley of the match to go up 16-14 after it weathered five attacks by Stanford before a wide attack error by Klineman off the left side. After UO tied the match 21-21, the two teams traded points until 30-30, when an error by Meyers and a kill by Klineman gave Stanford a 32-30 win - Kleinman's fourth kill from the 25th point on and seventh of the set. For Oregon, Newcombe and Meyers each had five kills and one of the team's four blocks in the period.
The fourth set saw Stanford get out to a 6-4 lead before UO scored four straight points behind the serving of Nevena Djordjevic. After Stanford tied it 14-14, UO went on a 5-0 run en route to a 22-16 lead, then weathered a Cardinal comeback to win 25-22 on a kill from Newcombe - her eighth of the set - while she also came up with seven digs.
In the fifth set, UO picked an opportune time to stake its biggest early lead of the night when it sprinted out to an 8-2 advantage on three kills by Meyers, two by Newcombe another by Enesi and an ace by Fischer. Stanford was able to close the score to 11-8, before UO ultimately pulled out the set, 15-11, thanks to single kills by the aforementioned quartet.
Breaking down the sets, UO's offense sported .387 and .357 hitting totals the first two sets, before following with .216, .262 and .257 marks the final three sets. Stanford's offense followed a generally similar trajectory, going from .270 and .447 early to .216, .182 and .222 the last three sets, respectively.
UO's win Saturday vs. the Cardinal had been preceeded by three four-set contests in 2007 and '08. For comparison's sake in that interim time before Moore's arrival from 1990-2004, UO had pushed the Cardinal to five sets only once (in 2000) and four sets twice (1996 and 2001).
In other league action Saturday night, No. 14 California won 3-0 at Oregon State; No. 4 Washington beat No. 16 USC, 3-2, at home; and No. 12 UCLA beat Washington State, 3-0, in Pullman. The Huskies were the only other league team to go 2-0 on the weekend with their 3-1 victory over UCLA, while USC lost Friday at WSU, 3-0, No. 18 Arizona beat ASU, 3-1, in Tempe, and UO beat No. 14 Cal, 3-0.
In the 25-20, 25-19, 25-20 win over Cal, Newcombe also paced UO in kills (13) and points (15) and hit .545 - her second-highest mark of the season behind her career high .611 at Portland in early September.

It's very possible that Coley is actually Michael Coley. I know the middle initial stands for Michael. Because Michael Abbott, Coley's grandfather, was still living(he lived into his 80s) it may have been easier to call him Coley to avoid confusion. I know I had a hard time finding him and locating a wife for him.
I believe you are the one who helped me get on the right track with George of Norwalk.
My father-in-law makes reference to Cornwall and "Cornwall's Corner". It seems he had a relative living in Cornwall, and has fond memories of playing there as a little boy. So I think there was a relationship between his grandfather and maybe an Uncle whom the grandfather lived with for a few years in Cornwall. So there is a connection to Cornwall somehow.

Some artists simply evolve into a more mature version of themselves,1 just look at how gracefully Taylor Swift has transformed from young country girl to ruler of the new world. Others struggle visibly more. For every Swift, there's a Justin Bieber or Britney Spears cautionary tale. Ariana Grande is the latest star to grow up in front of many iPhone cameras and Instagram posts. Thusfar, she has handled everything like a pro,2 mainly by always answering questions with politically correct opinions.
Earlier this month, Grande posted an open letter to her Facebook page,3 in which she comments on double standards and the male gaze in popular culture. It's an interesting read and while some critics where quick to dismiss the letter as hypocritical attention seeking,4 she was largely applauded for taking a stance. And while I personally have a hard time believing Grande, I am really looking forward for her to prove me wrong. Writing this letter was the first step, let's see what she does with these feelings in her upcoming songs. Will she be a young, feminist Beyoncé? Will she become the heir to Mariah Carey's throne, which she's been appointed numerous times already, and make classical love songs?
I caught Ariana Grande's last show of the European leg of The Honeymoon Tour. The venue, Palau Sant Jordi in Barcelona, turns out to be a little bit too big for the singer. The floor is only half-full and the upper ring is closed. When most of your fans can't drive a car to your show, it's probably a good idea to make it a seated event.5 When Paula Roja warms up the crowd, whose best known song seems to be a Spanish version of Anna Kendrick's Cups (When I'm Gone), the teens show they don't need a sold-out stadium to create a good vibe.
At 9PM, Ariana Grande takes the stage. She comes out with Bang Bang, complete with fireworks and Nicki Minaj on screen and I'm glad I brought my earplugs. The youthful enthusiasm of the crowd is almost overwhelming, but it seems to actually affect Ariana. In three-or-four-song blocks, she works through most of the songs in her catalog. Two albums deep, the singer already has enough hits and fan-favorite tracks to build a good show around. And that's exactly what she does. Her husky voice is as soothing as it is on record and her dancers and band, including two violinists and a cellist, are world class. Within thirty minutes, Ariana Grande has already floated through the venue on a pink cloud, came down on a chandelier and made the inside of Palau Sant Jordi look like Washington DC on the fourth of July.
All this isn't to say that the show is flawless. Between the songs, Grande never really connects with her audience and sticks to the usual thank-yous and I-love-yous. When Ariana sings, it's beautiful, but she's sometimes overpowered by the backing tape. There are no background singers, which is something you rarely see with shows this big. And the great collaboration with The Weeknd, Love Me Harder, turns out to be a mess because of it. Where most featuring artists get some time on screen, The Weeknd's verse is skipped and the track loses its balance. When Grande tries to sing on top of the tape, it becomes the low point of the night. Fortunately, Ariana recovers with the Major Lazer assisted All My Love6 and Honeymoon Avenue, a song so sweet it makes your dentist rich.
After Break Free, a song created with a stadium in mind, Ariana Grande returns to the stage for the inevitable Problem. It's the end of a show that's defined by Grande's professionalism. The Honeymoon Tour is well-balanced, the voice of the little star is more than convincing and every fan in the building, including their parents, will have a great memory of their first concert. But more than anything, this show is making me even more curious where Ariana will go next. Right now, she's an excellent pop star and a perfect role model for her young fans, but her recently discovered feminism has yet to be seen in her music and her live shows. I'll be watching.
- Whatever that means. ↩
- There are some reports on her diva behavior, but those are mostly rumors and can be found on every single artist. ↩
- And Twitter. And Instagram. ↩
- There is definitely something to say for this point of view. The suggestive lyrics found on Ariana's latest album and her sexy videos can be seen as an argument against feminism, but I won't go into that now. ↩
- Even Taylor Swift's 1989 supporting tour is almost completely seated, and her fans are a little older than Ariana's. ↩

How Weed Cloth Can Help Your Landscaper in Frisco, TX
If you're tired of a yard full of only grass, you might want to liven things up. When you add plants, flowers and rocks to your landscape, know that there are benefits to weed cloth.
Dig the area that you're placing the landscape decor. Lay down the weed cloth and put a layer or two of sand on top of it. Weed cloth prevents weeds, but it also allows the area to get much-needed oxygen and rainwater.Your plants, flowers, mulch, and rocks can grow or sit in this area without the worry of weeds invading their space. Place some barriers such as bricks or rocks around the area, to keep the cloth in place.
